Sgt. Thomas Pomroy and
Officer Marc Fernandez responded to the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and
Bridgeton Drive Saturday night and found a vehicle fully consumed by flames, Officer Earl Kinsey said. The incident had been called in by a passer-by, he said.

The vehicle — later identified as a 2006 flatbed tow truck, owned and operated by Peace of Mind Towing in Parsippany — was parked and unattended, he said.

Lake Parsippany Fire District 3 quickly extinguished the flame, and there were no injuries reported, he said.

Officials have deemed the incident suspicious, though information Kinsey supplied did not specify why.

The incident is being investigated by Officer David Cavaliere of the Parsippany
Police Department, he said. Anyone with information can contact Parsippany Police at 973-263-4300 or email Cavaliere
directly at dcavaliere@parpolice.com.
